Your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis, and you want to set them up, as best you can, for a bright future. Here’s a look at your treatment options that depend upon many different factors, which we review here.

Your spine is made up of 33 vertebrae that stretch from the base of your skull to your pelvis. The 24 movable discs are separated by 23 intervertebral discs, which are made up of a tough outer layer called the annulus and a soft, jelly-like interior called the nucleus.

Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine that most often develops during the growth spurt before puberty, but it can also affect adults later in life.

Back health isn’t just about treating problems—it’s about prevention, strength, and awareness. By taking small daily steps to protect your spine, you can maintain mobility, reduce the risk of injury, and preserve your quality of life.
